We are looking for the following support (thanks to Odai for swiping this idea from the Ocarina of Time project and thanks to Theophany for the original idea):

*A Co-Director to assist me in the qualification and review of the music and audio for this project. I need someone with past experience on working with OCR and with the final production of a project, as I have only limited experience in this area.

*Arrangers/Remixers to conceptualize and complete remixes. This is where the bulk of the work will be. Brand new or experienced veteran, anybody who would like to take part is welcome.

Voice Actors to bring life to the characters in our audio narratives. If you think your voice would be perfect for one of the available roles, drop us a PM or email!

Performers who are experienced with any type of instrument and have a high-quality recording setup. Sometimes live is better, so anyone willing to lend a hand to a fellow musician short an instrument or skill would be appreciated.

Sound Designers/Audio Support interested in mixing and sound design for the project. Ideally, we would like folks who are willing to provide support and/or collaboration with Remixers who are new or inexperienced at mixing.

Mastering Supportfor bringing the final WAVs into coherency and giving the final touches to tracks before final submission. I have no experience mastering and so I'm asking for someone(s) who is(are) willing to dedicate a little time (okay, a lot of time) to help us get the album through one of the final hurdles.

Anyone who is interested in helping in any one of these areas, please let me know.

--ALBUM CONCEPT—

First, a special 4-Arwing salute goes to Thomas Neil, who originally came up with the idea of building a Star Fox album in time for Star Fox’s 25th anniversary. He would have been the director for this project, but life became more complicated for him, so he was unable to give the project the commitment he thought it deserved. I thought it would be a shame if this one-only timing for the album fell apart, so I volunteered to bring his idea to light.

I have always believed that Star Fox is the flight simulator for everyone who doesn’t like flight simulators. I remember playing the first game, years ago, and being fascinated with the SUPER HIGH TECH 3D POLYGON GRAPHICS, the ‘smooth’ play control, and the choice of different routes to take to reach the final goal, depending on the difficulty chosen. I’ve played other flight simulators, but none have given me the same thrill as Star Fox. Seven games and almost 25 years later, Star Fox has become a respected Nintendo franchise.

To commemorate Star Fox’s 25th Anniversary, we are putting together a tour through the Lylat System from Corneria to Venom to give this Solar System a little bit of the Star Fox experience. We have a goal to put together a two disc set with 14-17 songs per disc, featuring a showcase of the music we would hear flying around as Fox McCloud.

All tracks from all games are open and there are no genre restrictions. The deal for the album concept is one track per area on a course between Corneria and Venom.

One exception to this is tracks from Star Fox Adventures. A maximum two tracks can be claimed from this game, as I don’t want the listener to spend too much time on Sauria; that being said, if we get more, we may accept them as bonus tracks.

--AUDIO TRACKS--

To add a little spice to our journey through the Lylat System, we have put together a series of audio tracks throughout the album to guide our listeners a little closer to the Star Fox experience. We are gathering talented voice actors to play the main characters from Star Fox as they fly through the Lylat System, growing closer to the final goal of reaching Venom to battle Andross.

Deadlines will roll in a three month rotation, with check-ins and WIP submissions required. The first deadline for this project will come on January 1st, 2017 and every three months thereafter. This should give Remixers plenty of time to build and show off their MAD SKILLZ, but still keeps this album on a steady timeline.

Keep in touch – if you are in regular contact with us, then the deadlines are nothing to be concerned about; however, we need to keep the timeline moving. If you make a claim you can’t fulfill, we would much rather you tell us then wink out of existence on us.

If you haven’t submitted an update or haven’t spoken with any of us by the time we reach a deadline, please get in touch with us ASAP; if we don’t hear from you within two weeks after deadline, we will have to release your claim.

Sorry for the confusion @classic_gamer_76, you have submitted a WIP - but it still needs a name!

Hmmm. Not sure this is at the level where you can 'drop the mic,' but very interesting.

I guess I can claim Sector X as I already have the WIP of it.

Done. Send me your WIP!

Errrm... I kinda wanted to claim Corneria, but my track is pretty short tho:

I like it, as I'm always down for a little cello action, but lonely ... and short.

So, I've been thinking about this Corneria thing, as it's the most popular track in the Star Fox series and I'm only choosing one to be featured (bonus tracks still possible!). Well, this weekend, a friend of mine suggested that since it's so popular, why don't we make this into one big collaboration?

@TheChargingRhino -- Really like the ideas you have for that (first) Corneria mix. However, just like The 'Boss' Nikanoru said, there's still quite a lot to do. I'd be very glad to help you on that one actually, since it's already pretty inspiring -- throw a couple more ideas in this WIP. I could even manage to get proper guitar recordings too!

@The Nikanoru -- Haven't thought of a name just yet. I usually give my mixes a name when they're close to be finished. I'm experimenting stuff right now and would like to have a talk with you when I'll have another WIP ready so I can share my vision of where I want to go with this track and see if it could still have its place within this album.

Also, it would be great to have a list of the performers available for collaboration in the first post -- near the current tracklist ^^

No problem, let me know. Very curious to hear your vision.

As for performers, no one has stepped forward yet. Who can confirm they are available for collaborations and what can you collaborate with?

Oh, and make sure you change my track claim to purple since I sent you the WAV

You are in the Purple Rain now, DS.

I have added 'current performers' to the top of the thread under staff. Anyone else who is interested, let me know.

I've also put myself down for Titania. from Star Fox SNES. It's a weird one and no idea what I'm going to come up with, but a drumbeat and some deep, dark, dirty, distorted guitar has been running around in my head for a while now...

Hmm, I've always wanted to try producing a rap beat, so maybe if you make some fire lyrics we could put something together

(BTW here's an example of a rap beat I've made before even if its purpose is a bit cheesy, but if I could put produce something more legit and put some rap-style piano thing like this behind it and just edit it a bit, this could be pretty dope. Would you be interested?)

I am really liking that idea man, I'm very interested :]

Also that beat for the chemistry thing was pretty clean tbh, and being someone who likes chemistry that was entertaining, haha.
